Best Buy Co., Inc. (BBY) trades at 16.39 times trailing earnings, which places its P/E 21.2% below the Consumer Cyclical median of 20.8. The peer comparison on this page labels that as a discount to peers. Measured against sales, the P/S of 0.49 is 74.2% below the sector median of 1.9. To put the size in context, BBY has a market value of $20.7B and trailing earnings of $6.01 per share.

- The two closest levels deserve attention: the 52-week high at $100.58 sits above the price, while the 20-day EMA at $93.12 sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI is 64.7, within the bullish zone, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 would signal stretched momentum.
- After the August 27, 2026 report the share price fell 1.34% in the first session; BBY beat estimates in 6 of the 7 reports in our data.
The trend is up because BBY sits above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($89.75 and $74.78). A slide through the 50-day would be the first sign of weakness. The closest support beneath the price is the 20-day EMA, currently $93.12.
BBY's next resistance is the 52-week high at $100.58. Its RSI is in the bullish band, which backs the current direction without signalling an overstretched move.

Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in BBY, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in BBY today could grow to about $13,444 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $35,854 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $5,041. The simulation models price only; at today's 3.89% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
BBY Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $132 for BBY by 2030 in the base case, from $98.50 today (1.3x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $49.65. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on BBY's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
